Most forms of hunting are now banned in the UK, fox hunting, stag hunting, hare coursing etc etc i think the only legal hunting now is birds.
Having watched Louis Theroux in South Africa on the big game hunting, it got me thinking. It costs $40,000 to kill a lion in a well run legal game park, this money goes into the conservation of more lions. So for every one you kill, another 10 are raised. There is big money still in big game hunting and basically if it was outlawed many families would be completely broke. One man spoke of Zimbabwe and how people just fell into poverty once the big game hunting was disallowed.
Do you feel it hypocritical to buy sausages or a rack of ribs or a pack of steaks and at the same time object to hunting animals?
Do you feel it is a mans right to hunt an animal with fair play, well trained to make a quick kill?
Whats the difference between animals in farms, bred for meat and animals on big game ranches?
Of course it is hypocritical to object to hunting while eating a burger. Or wearing leather.
hunting around the world may be good or bad and I confess I know little about it outside the USA.
But here I can tell you it is beneficial and overwhelmingly so. Remember man has always been a predator and part of nature we are carnivores and always have been the fact is tat removing a predator from the environment is very harmful tot he balance and that includes man.
